• And now for something completely different -- a Club Med golf vacation
  PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Imagine an all-you-can-eat, all-you-can-drink, all-the-fun-you-want kind of vacation. That's what it's like at Club Med Sandpiper Bay, and then some. All I know is that this cruise ship-on-land experience is unlike any resort I've ever seen. First off, it's the only remai…

• Tattoo Golf: Accessories with attitude
  The only thing that irritates me more than a three-putt is when non-golfers, upon hearing that you play, say something like, "My grandpa used to play golf" or "You don't look old enough to play golf" or "Golf is so boring!" Clearly, these sheltered, golf-biased dimwits have not been paying atten…

• Now's the time to plan a golf trip to Ireland
  I'm in Scottsdale at the moment, but all the dreary wet weather outside my window at home has me dreaming of golf. No not Hawaii or Palm Springs or even Scottsdale. I'm talking about Ireland. I really shouldn't equate rain with Irish golf. My overseas friends will kill me (or at least quit fee…

• Renting golf clubs can be the way to go when you travel
  On a recent California golf trip, noting the baggage fees to bring my clubs would be $75 for three legs and I would only be playing a couple of rounds, I opted for rental clubs at the golf courses. Ever since the airlines went nuts and decided charging to check bags (except for Southwest and Jet Bl…

• RTJ II firm nails 10 Theses to golf house door in Palo Alto
  Not since Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door at the Castle Church in Wittenberg has such a polemic developed around a statement of purpose.
